Meiosis ::

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half in daughter cells, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.

Why it is called as Reduction Division ::

1. As the Meiosis division process involves in reduction of chromosome number in the daughter cells to half the number in the parent cell, this process is called Reduction Division.
Meiosis creates gametes (egg and sperm cells).

2. The resulting gametes have 23 new chromosomes, one member of each of the 23 pairs, representing unique combinations of the original maternal and paternal copies.

In this chemical reaction chlorine change oxidation number from 0 to -1 (reduction) and bromine change oxidation number from -1 to 0 (oxidation).

Chlorine is stronger oxidation reagent than bromine.

In VIIA or group 17 (halogen elements) there are six elements: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At) and tennessin(Ts).

They have high electronegativity because they have seven valence electrons in their outermost energy level, so they can gain an electron to have the octet rule.  

Going down in the group, element are weaker oxidazing reagent and less reactive.

Schwann cells or neurolemmocytes are the cells in the peripheral nervous system that form the myelin sheath around a neuron's axon.
